Thank you for your request for information as copied below. You asked for
a list of Members of current Commons MPs of the 2015-2020 Parliament
sorted by age.

A list of MPs’ sorted by age is not held by the House of Commons. You may
wish to consider contacting Members individually to ask for the
information you seek, contact details are available at:

of Parliament are not public authorities for the purposes of the Freedom
of Information Act. This means that they are not obliged to respond to
requests made under the Act. Similarly, the Act does not apply to
political parties.

FOI applies to public authorities and both the House of Commons and House
of Lords are listed as institutions covered by the Act. In addition,
information held by government offices in relation to ministerial
activities and responsibilities will also be subject to the Act’s
provisions. Further information about FOIA and Parliament is available on
our website: [2]http://www.parliament.uk/site-informatio....

You may, if dissatisfied with the handling of your request, complain to
the House of Commons. Alternatively, if you are dissatisfied with the

internal review of any decision regarding your request. Complaints or
requests for internal review should be addressed to: Information Rights
and Information Security Service, Department of HR and Change, House of
Commons, London SW1A 0AA or [3][House of Commons request email]. Please ensure

Yours sincerely,

Very intriguing. I am also curious about this.
One way to do this is to visit: http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mps/?f=csvdownload the list of MPs. Then visit Wikipedia, search and get the date of birth of each MP.
Downside is you'll have to do that for 648 MP's.

to get DOB's for 55th parliament (2010), you need to extract the DOB's from the .json file. There is a unique ID, so you can use this UniqueID to map the data with the data from http://everypolitician.org/uk/commons/te...
